The Packers should bring back Brett Favre
I know Brett Favre’s “will he or won’t he” act is getting tiresome.
I know it’s not fair to Aaron Rodgers.
I know this might make the Packers worse off in two or three years.
But if Brett Favre really wants to return to football, the Packers should take him back. There’s no other reasonable choice. Favre holds the keys. He can un-retire whenever he wants to. If/when he does, then the Packers either have to play him, trade him or release him, and those last two options aren’t really options.
This is a guy who threw for 4155 yards and 28 touchdowns, and had a quarterback rating of 95.7, which was the sixth best in the league last season. If not for Tom Brady’s insane year, Favre probably would have been the front runner to win the MVP award, which would have been the fourth of his career. Despite the fact that his interception in overtime against the Giants ended the Packers season, Favre had the highest QB rating of any signal caller in the playoffs (99.0).
Clearly, the guy can still play. I was absolutely stunned when he decided to hang ’em up with the Packers this close to the Super Bowl.
He gives the Packers the best chance to win now. Rodgers may or may not be a good quarterback. Favre proved in 2007 that he’s still a great one. Life isn’t fair, and Rodgers hasn’t been dealt the best hand. If I’m Mike McCarthy, I just shrug my shoulders and say, “Them’s the breaks, kid. Keep your dobber up.”
I don’t buy the secondhand reports that Green Bay GM Ted Thompson forced Favre out. Everything he said after the season implied that it was Favre’s decision, and with the way he played all year, there was no reason for Thompson to force him out. And there was no reason for Favre to allow himself to be forced out. The entire Packer Nation wanted him to return for another season and I’d bet that a majority would love to see #4 under center come September.
But only if he’s wearing the green and gold.
And, assuming he actually wants to play, that’s why the Packers have to take him back.
Update: I changed my mind later that season when I found out that Favre actually unretired twice in the spring/summer of 2008.

I have to agree.
I think Favre looks foolish with all this drama, but he does give them a good chance to win this season.
That said, if he comes back and underperforms this year, which is possible due to his age, it will tarnish his image a little.
Definitely, but I think most of the signs point to he and the Packers having another good year.
You guys are both Packer fans and see things through a snow storm.
1. You think he looks foolish? Go ahead and say it, he does, he looks just like all the others who want to retire but then get home and there aren’t 80,000 fans kissing there butts everyday. The wife doesn’t care, the kids don’t care. Hell, they haven’t seen you in 8 years and back then you were hammerd. No your old, sober and angry.
2. He may under perform? He will under perform becuase mentally he is retired. Just like the 62 yr old guy building widgids everyday knowing that he only has a few days left and he’s done. …He will mail it in
3. Signs pointing to a good year? The only sign I see is Caution Ahead 1 mile..
You have a QB that has thrown a total of 60 times…cwait, hange the sign to Danger Ahead 1 mile
Come on now….you guys are funny but it’s a sad day if he comes back
I’m leaning with Mr Tampa on this one ……… Dude, you retired on us already. Call it a wrap before you go Willie Mays or Joe Namath on us. It’s over Brett – get the levi’s on – ride the dam tractor down in Ole Miss and watch out Aarron Rogers doesn’t pull a Dick Cheney on you …….. It’s been a good ride.
Don’t be the next Rocket Clemmens !
There seems to be two schools of thought here.
The first one, as John pointed out in his post, is that everybody (including some Packer fans) are tired of this dog and pony show Favre pulls every offseason. Do you want to play or not? Do other players receive the same treatment as Favre does? No player should be bigger than the organization – even Favre in Green Bay. The casual NFL fan has been tired of Favre’s act and is ready for something new.
However, if we’re talking purely from a football standpoint, John’s right – Favre gives the Packers the best chance to win now. His offensive line is solid and he has more than enough weapons at his disposal to win another division title. Before the Dallas game last year, Aaron Rodgers was downright brutal in his development. Is he finally ready? Maybe. But based on how good Favre was last year, it’s hard to argue that the Packers aren’t better served with him under center heading into next year. If he throws up a dud of a season, then so be it. But at least on paper in July, #4 is their best option.
I’m not comparing the two players, but I grew up in Chicago when Jordan retired and un-retired about 19 times. People were getting sick of his act too, but the bottom line was that the Bulls were better with him on the court than off it. Maybe Tampa Bay is right in that some athletes need their ego stroked at all times and the Packers shouldn’t give into Favre’s crap. But if we’re talking purely about wins and losses, then they should welcome Favre back with open arms and let what he does on the gridiron speak for itself.
I don’t think that Farve is the best choice any longer…He is another year older and he decided to retire. Once you get into retirement mode you are saying that the drive is over and its time to move on. It’s in his head.
If he wasn’t ready to retire it means that he got pissed off that Green Bay didn’t get him what he wanted and he pulled a hissy fit.
Is this what you want? Another comeback debacle or a hissy fit ready to happen
when it doesn’t go his way.
He is now baggage not a leader.
So you say. But he was a top 5 (or so) QB last year, so there’s nothing physically that says he can’t play another season at a high level. He may come out and play like a dud, but I don’t know that your psychological analysis of the retirement mindset will be the reason. He has done everything this summer that he normally does. It’s not like he’s been sitting on the sidelines for a full year and is just now trying to make a comeback.
I either want him to retire or come back and play for the Packers. Trading or releasing him would be unwise.
The bottom line is 1. Favre can still play, is at the peak of his playing abilities… and much wiser 2. He Is still statistically one of the top QBs in the league 3. The Packers are better with him than without 4. He wants to play and wants to play for the Packers.5. Most of the Packer fans love him and he brings more fans to football every year 6. He’s legendary
I know Football is a business, but people don’ watch it and love it for that reason. If Ted isn’t going to bring him back, the fans should force him to.
IT WOULD BE AN OUTRAGE IF THEY DONT BRING BRETT BACK .
IF THEY DON,T THEY SHOULD JUST BURN DOWN LAMBO NOW WHO IN GODS NAME IS ARRON RODGERS
The packers need Brett Favre. This is a no brainer – bring him back to play in Green bay.
Just let the man go…PEOPLE! Move on to a new QB. Brett is gone..over the hill…. he did his time with Green Bay..Time for a new hero..
Santa
Aaron boy should sit down and keep his mouth shut! Bring back Brett ! He’s one of the greatest of all time and respects his fans! Long live Brett Favre!
Bring Brett back and let him fight Aaron Rogers for the starting position. The old man would whip Aaron’s ass. Sure, Brett could have handled this better. But why punish the team? Aaron certainly needs some lessons in class after telling us all to “shut our mouths.”
Come on, Brett. Show that snot-nosed kid what a real quarterback can do.
It’s hard to believe that Brett has done everyting he has been asked to do for 16 years and Ted Thompson is so busy trying to make a name for himself with “his” pick that he is pushing Favre to the curb. He won’t be Ron Wolf no matter how hard he tries and — if Brett is pushed into a backup position,–with our PaperMan quarterback, he’ll be playing by halftime. How many total minutes has Rogers played compared to Brett?
Bring Brett back as the starting QB for the Packers. He’s the man!!!!
You people are living in the past….Let it go..He retired and he retired at the right time. If he wants to come back it he goes to the booth just like those before him.
He was great in GB, this is not the debate….Coming back is a dream for GB fans but the rest of us know that it’s time to move on.
Now having said all of this watch Gruden make a deal for him and I’ll have to watch him this year..in Tampa….Oh Boy
I think Anthony makes one mistake in his assessment. The offensive line is NOT good. If the o-line was good, we could have run the ball for a couple first downs at the end of the NFC Championship game and been in the Super Bowl.
The o-line could not consistently block and move the chains with the run and could not block a screen pass to save their lives. The Packer’s offensive tackles are good but aging. The center is good. Guard has been a mess for three years and remains so.
Don’t let Ryan Grant’s showy numbers fool you – far too much of that yardage was made on monster, burst through the line home run plays. The Packers still do not have a good receiving tight end. Come to think of it, with Bubba gone, we don’t even have an adequate blocking tight end. Some of the rooks are intriguing, but they remain rooks.
All that said, I’d like to see Favre back for an honest competition. Best man wins. Rodgers, if you can’t beat a soon-to-be 39 year old Favre, maybe it’s you we should be trading. And by the way, I don’t know how it was where you were raised, but up this way, people mostly think that young nubbin’ buck QBs who haven’t won their first game should STFD and STFU!
bring him back i go to a school in london called st ignatius and we all wan him back i meen who doesnt
I think we should definitley bring back Brett. Aaron Rodgers with his bad attitude toward the fans should sit on the sidelines and watch the man at work. Favre has been an amazing assett to Green Bay and to have Ted Thompson treat him like this is disgusting. I say bring back Favre and fire Ted Thompson.
www. bringbackfavre.com
This is an absolute no-brainer. Of course you bring Brett Favre back as the starting quarterback. Last season, he proved he is still one the top quarterbacks in the NFL. Aaron Rogers will likely injure himself during the pre-season and then where will the Packers be? At this point I propose we bring Brett back as the starter and trade Aaron Rogers and Ted Thompson to Seattle for Mike Holmgren.
I think what brett is doing is shaming himself. Most of the people I talk to here in Milwaukee want him to move on….those are real people talking, real Green Bay fans.
Its time to let go Brett…you look foolish now.
Don’t you think if given the choice of having Favre under center or have him stay retired that most GB fans would want him to play?
Obviously, this whole thing is wearing thin and there are a lot of people that just want him to go away, but I think if you gave Packer fans those two choices, a majority of people would want him to play because he gives GB the best chance to win.
Brett Favre needs to leave well enough alone and stay retired. He made a name for himself in Green Bay and should cherish the accomplishments he made with the Packers.
Although he is a great asset to the Green Bay Packers, he needs to move on, and let the team move on. He will never be forgotten in Green Bay. I suspect if he moves to another team, it will leave a bad taste in his current fans mouths.
Wish him the best, just my two cents.
We have laughed and cried with Brett Favre. And the world stopped for a moment when Brett came across the tv and radio emotionally telling the world he was retiring. I am sure I am not alone when I say that I cried right along with him. And even after I heard him and watched him…I still couldn’t believe it. Those of us that love #4 are up in arms with the news he wants to come back and play.We want to win and we know we have the best chance with BRETT FAVRE He has been there for us for all these years, and he has broken every record to prove it. Now it’s time for us to be there for him, like we have done so many times before. FAVRE FAN FOREVER!!!!!
Ii agree with Lynda!! We should be standing behind him, just as we always did, especially after the comment for the fans from Rodger’s mouth!! I think he was pushed into a corner to hurry up and make a decision back in March. Bring him back and let’s get ready for the Super bowl!!!!! Go Pack!!!!!!
Brett has had years to decide if he wants to retire or not folks. He got up in front of the world in the off-season and retired. How come the dude can make split-second decisions when he has the ball in his hand and he is looking for a receiver – but he flip-flops for 3-4 off-seasons in a row ? C’mon Brett – don’t hold your beloved Packers for ransome like Roger Clemens used to do in MLB. And the Packers should just release you so you can go down the street to play with the Bears or Vikings without proper compensation ?
” I want the Packers to get better or I won’t come back ” or ” I want Randy Moss or I won’t come back ” C’mon Brett ….. You are ruining your rep. Brett
And Packer-Backers – Don’t be FANatics – they are out of their minds – just be a fan. Remember your Green Bay Packers will be there long after B Favre is gone – whenever that is.
Bring Brett back…he is one of the all time greats…you would be a fool not to take him and start him and Aaron rodgers can go and sit on one of the Bears sidelines for all I care. long live farve. by the way who wants a nobady QB who hates the fans? I don’t know about you but at this point we will never win the super bowl with Aaron Rodgers…however brett will take us there! Go Pack.
P.S.anybody dissing Brett Farve is condemning The Packers!
After all he did for the Packers .He should get a chance to play again and with the Packers.They’d have a good chance with him and he only was retired for a few months.Shheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh let him play already.He’s done so much and doesn’t deserve to be treated this way .Go Brett!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I speak for people here, I just happen to be the one posting, but we talked about this.
The Packers should bring brett back,Ted Thompson and Mike Mcarthy are almost fully to blame for the way favre looks (this year). you do NOT ask anyone comming off of a NFC title game loss for a decision in march. that was just plain mishandled.
the prudent thing to do would be to wait into may for brett’s decision. forget about the packers moving on stuff. every other Hall of fame QB that left, their team has struggled to win games. (Miami,Denver,Dallas,49ers(after young) of these only elway had a choice to stay) no matter what the packers are going to struggle after favre. it is just the way it is. so let brett play as long as he wants.
we would rather have brett back and go 4-12 and have 30 int’s (the packers were in almost every game that year) than to see the packers try and go ahead with rodgers, while the whole team, and the fans know they could have had favre.
Favre has earned his right to take until tranning camp to make his decision. he makes football fun to watch even if we have a 4 and 12 season.
For better or for worse we want favre back
17 Packer Fans
I am siding with dave here..I mean Brett gave the Packers almost all thier momentum they have now…give him a chance!
I say let him finish off the next 2 years of his contract as a starter he can do it and with his line playing in there 2nd year they will mold together and I really think they would have a chance
I don’t get it ……….. are you people Brett Favre fans ? or Packer fans ? The DUDE retired on his own terms …………… the Packers went forward even drafting another QB …………. Why didn’t Big Brett react a little faster ? You know like when Strahan was chasing him ? Geez, I like Brett Favre a lot – but some of you Packer fanatics are letting your feelings get in the way of what really happened. You are actually making me turn on the beloved Brettster and I don’t want that. I love Frank Caliendo doing the “Madden” .
Bay24 – I always welcome your comments here but the bottom line is that the Packers have a better chance to win with Favre under center. Yes, he retired and changed his mind. Yes, it’s an awful situation. But Jordan retired and the Bulls welcomed him back. Why aren’t the Packers welcoming Favre back?
I understand the hesitancy given the whole “will he or won’t he” stuff we’ve been through the last few offseasons, but it’s clear that the guy wants to play, so I say let him play.
Let’s not blame the fans for wanting to see #4 under center. They know that he gives them the best chance to win this season.
Thanks J P – and the feelings are mutual. Believe it or not – I DID have the same opinion about Jordan and Clemmens and boxers. I just don’t like it when your organization is forced into a corner because one player often changes his mind. YOUR team can’t move until Favre gave them an answer the last three years. It effects the draft, Rogers, etc … Hey, I like Favre. And yes, I even want him to play somewhere. But I think Favre fans think everything is Favre’s call and not Their Packers. If Favre just did this one time – I would be cool with it. We can change our minds – or commit A violation etc … but after a while it becomes a trend. #4 hit it for me.
I think we both agree on how good Favre is, and we want to see him out on the field…. I just think Packer fans need to fess up and admitt Ole Brett caused a greasefire up there in Lambeau-Land. You can root for him to play up there – but a lot of your readers are putting too much of the blame on the Packer Org. instead of Brett. I like Ted Thompson, I have met him before and I assume he is frustrated when #4 ties his hands up. The Packer Organization and tradition is great – I don’t like to see whats going these days and neither do you I would guess.
I guess the welcome wagon isn’t out for Favre like those others are because Brett retired a few months ago and they went out and drafted a QB and set up there offense for Rogers. They had too. Brett said he was done.
Brett,
What a joke you are, you are the greatest QB of all time in my book, and you wine and moan like most girls that i know. Your legend will reamain on the field, but you not makin up your mind now for the last coulple of seasons gets old fast. Im all for Aaron starting the QB. Get over it brett, for you to say green bay shows no respect to you, look at your pay check for a change. That should say it all. Stay retired. Im metally tired of hearing you not being able to make up your mind and saying im not able to perform.
There’s only one guy who can make plays like Brett Favre in Green Bay, and that is, Brett Farve!
Hey, did you guys hear that Brett Favre wants to unretire?
Bay24- I get it. you think that Brett has been payed back for his playing and the pack don’t really owe him anything. I agree that Brett has gotten fair copensation for his job but why wouldn’t you welcome back a guy who could take the Packers to thier height again. The thing is that Rodgers can’t. I think we should trade him for a better front line.
Ryan-1 Brett Favre is nowhere close to a joke. 2 Just because you don’t like the way favre treats you doesn’t mean you shouldn’t care about the team! It is obvious that Brett is the best thing for the team right now. Besides do you think if you were in his position you would make up your mind right away and move on like that?!!!
No!! think of the pressure that is on him right now! Also Aaron won’t last through the Pre-season mentally, physically, or with the fans. Face it…Aaron would be better off with the Bears where he can make all the horrible throws he wants and dig the Bears deeper into the pit of hell they created when they started Rex Grossman in the Super Bowl.
JEC- read the newsarer from the past half a year would ya’?
Anyone not wanting Favre to come back and play for the Packers is one of the following:
a Bears/Viqueens/Lions fan who we’ve kicked the crap out of for 16 years
Drunk and stupid
lived in a closet for 16 years
is a clueless idiot that doesn’t know football
not a TRUE Packer fan
You guys saying……Dude, hang it up……it’s been a great ride…….let it go now…….ride off into the sunset…..blah,blah,blah. You guys don’t realize that Brett has earned the right to do whatever the hell he feels like. T.Thompson has obviously used the authority BS on him and he’s disrespected him! Yes, he’s got a team to run and has done agood job up till now, but for Christ’s sake Ted……this is BRETT FAVRE!! not Jim McMahon or Jim Harbaugh or Brian Griese or Bob Griese for that matter. He’s a living legend, an icon. Yes, Brett shouldn’t have retired and went about it wrong, but he can still play and showed that last year and his legacy NEEDS to live on……..IN GREEN BAY!!!!
Come back to Green Bay, Brett……..PLEASE!!!! WE LOVE YOU, MAN!!!!!!!!!
This just in:
Brett Farve was in Tampa last night having dinner with members of the Tampa Bay Bucs….
Here we go……..He’s coming here for one of the 88 QB’s I have in stock. Who do you want to back up Aaron Boone?
Girls, get ready to start crying again….
John Paulson- I sure hope so.
I am siding with Steve / Milton Wi. here….T.Thompson is not thinking in his right mind. As for Brett in tampa I don’t know I think that it’s a suggestion of him moving teams if he can but either a back up plan or a publicity thing (not that he needs it).
And notice 2 things They put Favre on the front of Madden 09 in a PACKERS Jersey! Even if he does everyone will remember him as a Packer.
Mr Favr4ever,
The question is not is Favre the best QB for the Pack – we all know that – the problem is – Mr Favre RETIRED on stage in front of millions and said ” I gave all I have, I have nothing left ” I’m just saying your Packer organization had no choice but to move on after this … it’s too bad … but Brett Flip-Flopped one too many times for me my friend. Now I am on the Packer side on this issue.
I’m gonna take one more whack at this.
You have two quarterbacks. One has started as many straight games as anybody aside from Jim Marshall, won more games, thrown more passes for more yards, more TDs (and yes INTs too) than any QB in the history of the NFL, helped an otherwise pretty average team (yes! I said it!) win 13 games last year, and if the O-line could have run blocked or blocked a screen pass against the soon to be Super Bowl Champion Giants . . .
(yeah, you remember them? The ones who went on the road for the playoffs and finally beat the only team to ever go 18-0? Ya think they might have had something going there? Anybody tankin’ on Brady this summer for not whupping Eli?)
. . . would have taken that otherwise pretty average team to their third Super Bowl appearance in 11 years after seeing absolutely nothing for something like 25 years prior to that.
The other guy played pretty well against Dallas once for part of a game.
I don’t care if Brett retired, unretired, retired again, took a tour on Dancing with the Stars, unretired, vacationed in Mexico and finally showed up in Green Bay wearing one sneaker and a pair of Bermuda shorts – he’s still our best QB.
The fact is this – Favre was going to unretire – we all knew it right? TT should have seen this coming a mile off. Yes, drafting Brohm still made sense whether Favre was coming back or not. Run the team as if Favre is coming back. Do all the work with Rodgers that you need to, and if Favre shows up in July and says forget it, then move on.
Why push for a decision in March?
Because you really don’t want the guy around. The draft argument is bullshit. The only thing about our draft I’d have changed knowing Favre was staying is that I probably wouldn’t have taken Matt Flynn in the 7th – or I’d hope I could sneak him onto the practice squad.
OK, I’ve spoken my last bit on this subject. I will cheer for whomever quarterbacks the Packers next year. If it’s not Favre, I’ll be disappointed, but if he’s playing in the NFL somewhere else, I’ll cheer for him too, I will always be a Packer fan and a Favre fan. And you can take that to the bank.
There’s only one guy that can to this: retire, unretire, retired again, took a tour on Dancing with the Stars, unretired, vacationed in Mexico and finally showed up in Green Bay wearing one sneaker and a pair of Bermuda shorts – …..and thats Brett Farve!
Yeah Brett is a once in a life time kind of thing. If the Packers let him go now they will be letting go of something they probably won’t get back. Especially with Rodgers. TT is going to make a huge mistake if he trades Favre and what is Favre thinking! He is always at his best at Green Bay and he knows it! Even if he doesn’t start at the begginning of the season Rodgers won’t last that long. Favre will return. (whether it’s with the Packers or not)
This is outrageous! I want Brett back with the Packers. The reasons are endless…but the best is because he is an incredible quarterback that is a fabulous leader that gives us a great game every week and a chance to go to and win the Super Bowl. For the Packers not to bring him back as a starter is insulting. If they don’t want him….fine…then show your maturity and respect for the player and let him go. As a Packer fan, I want him back in Green Bay, but if they have “moved on” and will only accept him back as a backup then have the balls to let him go on his own terms- release him. Let him play elsewhere. He would drastically improve other teams that need a fantastic quarterback. Oh, but yeah, I guess that is what they are worried about the competition and the level of play a star player brings to an organization. I recognize this isn’t a normal situation but the Packers organization has handled this poorly and that is a significant understatement. Enough of the BS.. bring him back or release him. To do anything less really shows the lack of respect you have for a legend and the many fans that he has accumulated across so many teams. True lovers of the sport respect him for his talent. If the management forces Favre out by not allowing him the role as starting quarterback or allowing him to go and play for another team…. well they will have kept a legend off the field…….This is not good for the game and really only makes the Packers organization look like….TT make up your mind bring him back to his rightful position as starter or let him go now….so yes, he can interact and blend with a new team.. attend the training camp with his new team and learn the plays. If you have really “moved on” and really respected the sport you would let him go and join another team at a high level. Or is the truth that you are worried how he could positively impact another team. He deserves that at the very least!
Aaron Rodgers will never be a Brett Favre. Thompson… get your head out of your butt and bring him back AS A STARTER. Don’t make him sit on the bench with his thumb up his butt. In a recent interview with Favre, he said that he wants to come back. 100% wants to. Packers WILL, i guarantee you, ruin their reputation if they don’t bring him back. When all is done, Brett WILL be a Packer as a STARTER
I hope you’re right Devin Winter. Even though I was born in Chicago I’m a die hard Packers fan and to tell you the truth I am pretty ashamed of my #1 team. After all Brett did for them and he stayed in there for those last 2 years and brought them to the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP now they won’t cut him any slack. And I am sick to death of hearing non greenbay fans taking negatively about this especially Chicago fans. Until they decide to trade Brett it is Green Bay buisness.
Brett is one of a kind, let him play until he wants to retire.
I think fans will hate Green Bay if they do not play him… and that is the bottom line!
And you know what if the Packers don’t bring him back as a starter than I will be right with ya booing the Packers choice but I still won’t hate them. They deserve the title more than anyone else…but only w/ brett. Their current GM is getting them into this. It is almost like he is a Bears fan.
Wow…thank you everyone for reminding me that the sunshine every morning doesn’t come from the sky, it comes out of Brett Favre’s ass.
Holy crap…time to move on folks. Favre put himself into this position. If he wasn’t sure, he shouldn’t have retired. One overrated superbowl win doesn’t mean he gets to change the rules of the game. Oh that’s right….most of you think he invented the game so he should be able to change them.
There’s only one guy that has the sun shining from his ass……and thats Brett Farve!
Still Brett should get some slack.
I have to agree with T-Bone here.
I am a die hard Packer fan, but Favre is putting himself before the organization and that is a no no; even when talking about a legend. I see Favre as a Legend, but he may turn into a Hero in about twenty years or so. I mean of course the famous quote “heroes are remembered, but legends never die.”
For his sake and mine!
YOU DON’T GET IT do you?!!!!! The Packers should give Brett a second chance!
Seriously, Favre4ever,
You think Brett has handled this whole series of events properly ? In the best intrest of Packers and Packer fans ? C’mon man. We are not asking you who you like – we are asking you if Favre went about all these things the past three years in the right manner for his team and organization.
” I left it all on the Field ” means you are done. HE said it. Why the sympathy act now ?
You should move on and understand the Packer Business side of all this. You can still like Brett – but it must be getting tough to still be pimping this guys story.
I don’t think Brett has done anything right about handling this but still sure he said he was done but he changed his mind and he is good enough that he should get a second chance. I think that brett should have thought before he talked but he was under pressure and he blurted out what many people wanted to hear. He didn’t mean it. But the Pack havn’t handled this very well either. You are talking about brett not caring for the team and fans but Aaron Rodgers is way worse.
You are staring to come around a little Mr Favre4ever. Good Man.
It was not that I thought that Brett was handling it the best way it was just that I thought that the Packers (aka Ted Thompson becouse it is TT that is leading the Pack into this mess) aren’t handling this any better and they aren’t thinking strait. My point is that it if you are a Packer fan than you want brett. bottom line. He is the better choice. period. I don’t get why they won’t take him back he is still a great QB!
I said I had spoken my last on this topic, but you folks are really trying my patience.
Favre has always been a bit of a doufus – always! That’s part of his charm. He’s like your booze-hound, skirt chasing brother who finally squared it away and got it right for a few years. I like that sheet.
I expect Favre to screw it up a little. I (and everybody who really thought about it) KNEW Favre was going to show up in July wanting to play. That was as predictable as sunrise. And I think it’s a very bad idea to assume that we know with any accuracy exactly what happened behind the scenes.
It seems to me that Favre thought all the way along that his options were open. I figure his actions were based on that rather poor assumption.
Let Ted know what we really think. My dad just bought one of these yesterday. http://www.favregate08.com
BRING BACK BRETT BOUNCE THOMPSON OUT ON HIS DUMB STUPED A$$
hey- aaron rodgers- i was a packer fan before you were even thought of- so shut YOUR mouth and listen
YOU are not ,and never will be, anything near a brett favre. 1 game doesn’t make a a hall of fame replacement- and wait until the bears, vikings and lions get near you.
. yeah- favre may take his time in deciding but if they had let him do that they wouldn’t be in the mess they are now. no one says anything when another player may wait until may or june to announce that they are retiring; and training camp doesn’t even start until july- ted thompson just wants HIS guy in there- he has no desire to do what is best for the team- he doesn’t know the meaning of the word.
quite frankly they’re going to have their best shot in the future with the guy they just drafted- and should let him learn from the best.- and that ISN’T rodgers!
Farve is the man. Proven great player, remember Jordon, Brett is a winner, when don’t you want a winner. There are great players and winners, he is both.
don’t forget great sports and people who just love the game. both of which brett is.
Did anyone hear Brett went to the Jets?!!! I hope he goes to the Vikings. To think people wanted him to retire!
Is Farve4ever a Jet Fan now ? Join us in the Swamps.
Im not a Jets fan at all in fact I hate them. Ted Tompsen is a jerk and I don’t consider him a part of the Packers family anymore.
C’mon Favre4ever Dude – you need to switch over to Rogers4ever … you are a Packer Fan first !
Yes but I don’t root for snotty-nosed QBs who insult fans.
